Aviation Magazines in Italy

Last updated:

Introduction

This is a survey of Italian aviation, defence and aircraft scale modelling magazines. Italian aircraft magazines are highly regarded by aviation enthusiasts for their in-depth coverage of Italian and world aviation. Italy has been a very air-minded country since at least the 1920’s, and its chequered history in the first half of the Twentieth Century has left it with a rich source of aviation hstory.

Most Italian magazines publish only 11 issues per year – with a combined July-August issue to cover the holiday period.

All magazines are Italian text only, unless otherwise stated.

Aviation Magazines in Germany

Last updated:

Introduction

This is a survey of German aviation, defence and aircraft scale modelling magazines. Aviation has played a key role throughout Germany’s turbulent history in the twentieth century. In consequence, a good number of German aircraft magazines devote either all, or a significant portion, of their pages to the aircraft and history of the Luftwaffe in World War Two and postwar. This coverage is often in considerable detail and rarely seen outside the country. In contrast, coverage of World War One aviation appears to be quite scarce for some reason – with US and British publications offering far better coverage of German WW 1 subjects.

This survey includes publications from both the former East and West German Republics. Magazines are assumed to be of Federal Republic (West German) origin unless otherwise indicated.

All magazines are German text only, unless otherwise stated.
